The little pics are called avatars (mine is of MJ730). Just go to the FAQ page, scroll down to ‘How do I get a picture under my name’ and follow the directions. You can use your own photo or download one from the net.

“Everything to do with Spitfires” – well you will love it here. No doubt one of the senior members will assist with the Knebworth info. Welcome.

Fair point !

Ashley, is it different from the paperback version, more photos maybe? (apart from a less floppy cover obviously).

I do not have the answer – yes there are always variations Bruce, but the difference in proportion here seems huge. The triangular gussets in the lower corners of the framing would have been enormous on this canopy (if it is original and unchanged) and would have looked very strange.

I am prepared to be corrected though!

Robbo,

Which book did you order?

The 1969 book on the making of the film and the 1977 Time Life book are entirely different (see the earlier thread). There was a 1969 hardback (film book) but it is extremely rare. The 1977 book is nothing to do with the film but is part of a series of books covering the second World War.

Steve,

Let me know what you need as it may be easier if I speak to the RN Historic Flight people (they operate an airworthy Sea Fury) also based at Yeovilton.

Now if anyone knows of an available 1969 hardback…….
